PolyMars | I Made Snake With 30,000 Players @PolyMars | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I challenged myself to make a game using Twitter's Bot API. I ended up creating a clone of Snake, an arcade game where navigate around your tail to eat apples, that is played entirely through Twitter with likes and retweets! Every 30 minutes, the bot checks the amount of likes and retweets on the latest tweet, and turns the snake clockwise or counterclockwise based on which count is higher.
